Gary Dumas saw the oily runoff under that cover last week and it will be cleaned out by the time you visit?

If you have never seen this storm-drain cover at the south edge of the service entry to the Urban Table (the almost new restaurant in the old post office building on the downtown square of Fayetteville, Arkansas), you may want to see it today. It will be replaced when the storm drain is rebuilt as work progresses to replace all the streets, planter boxes and sidwalks around the square this winter.
This isn't something that should happen on a city work site when the City Council on Tuesday has to deal with the huge red-dirt pollution problem created by violations of the stormwater and tree ordinances by the Stonebridge Square project a few miles east off Huntsville Road. It doesn't compare with Gary Combs' disastrous grading and filling project. But it sets a bad example. Setting policy and seeing that city workers as well as contractors working for developers in the city are TRAINED to prevent potential pollutiion problems is a necessity and should be a priority. I am confident that the sustainability coordinator, John Coleman, can do the training well. We don't need to hire a consultant to tell us how to manage stormwater.

They won't fix until they tear up that area later, so each big rain in early March will move a little more lf that stuff downhill toward the streams and lake.
